Reduce the attack surface of the sample broker shipped in the binary assembly: * activemq.xml: enable only the openwire TCP transportConnector by default; amqp, stomp, mqtt and ws are commented out with a note pointing to the SSL-secured variants. * activemq.xml: add a commented <plugins> block wiring JAAS authentication, destination-level authorization and broker-side audit logging, with a prominent reminder to rotate the default admin=admin credentials and an ACTIVEMQ_OPTS hint for restricting ObjectMessage deserialization. * jetty.xml: suppress X-Powered-By and Date response headers in addition to the already-disabled Server header. * jetty.xml: add Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy response headers alongside the existing CSP/XFO/XSS rules.
